    WAG No progress on vault

    Vault is by far my worst event, I'm training level 10 but my vault is not up to level. I have been training tsuk layouts for over a year now and they have not improved at all. I then switched to tsuk tuck full for a couple months and it was going quite well but me and my coach decided it would...

    WAG Level 9 Acro series connection with side Ariel

    I am a level 9 gymnast and I am currently competing in aerial round-off as my connection. Now yes you do get credit for this but if you wobble or stop at all on the aerial before the round-off, then you don't get credit. I have only got the credit for it one time for this reason. So currently I...

    NCAA NCAA choreography

    Wow! I loved that routine posted above. She really was expressive. I do feel that most routines (NCAA, elite, club, etc.) are all lacking in the dance department. It does feel rare to see a routine that really pulls in the audience. Side note: The gymnast in the video did two passes, double...

    WAG Pulled muscle and where to go for help

    Hi everyone, I hope this doesn't qualify as seeking for medical advice so lmk. So basically yesterday I was doing my leap pass and all of a sudden my leg/butt area start to hurt really bad. I take it easy the rest of practice, mostly doing bars. I'm pretty sure I pulled a muscle and it still...

    WAG Meet nervousness

    Hi! I used to have the same problem as you, and I would get so frustrated because I knew I could do so much better than what I performed at the meets. I have some tips that have helped me: 1- First, keep a positive mindset. Don't say negative phrases in your head like "I hope I don't fall"...

    Parents Bruise from bars

    This is very common I feel, not everyone talks about it since it is an awkward spot to get bruised. I get the same thing, and I usually wear shorts when that happens and then ice the area when I get home.

    WAG Catching a bail/overshoot on bars

    Hey everyone! My competition season is quickly approaching and I have almost all of my skills, except I can't seem to get the hang of a bail by myself.

    Parents Unpopular Opinions

    Just out of pure curiosity, would you feel the same way if a girl was crying because a coach or teammate was being mean to them? What about if they are crying because they are scared to go for a skill? What if they are crying because they fell at a meet? Etc. These are questions for everyone, as...
